Easy to use/great picture/very good sound

I purchased as a gift for a disabled friend. He struggles with technology and is easily confused. However, just 2 demonstrations and he had it down...and he loves it.

Pros:Easy to use. Very good picture...bright and precise. The sound is surprisingly good. It is easy to use when just holding on the lap or, in my friend's case, on a folding tray table. The settings available are useful and sufficient.

A player to enjoy...

Written By CJones, Timberville, VA on Friday, September 27, 2013

This is my first portable DVD player that I've purchased and kept. I really like the quality of picture and sound and the special surface of the outside that does not show finger prints. I am also very happy that my daughter helped me figure out how to watch videos from my camera on this player. Another good feature is the on/off button does not accidentally come on.

Great for the car

We purchased this for road trips with the 6yo. I was a bit worried about skips on bumpy roads. My last portable was almost unusable in the car. This one is great. We took it for a trial in the pickup truck on some bumpy back roads and it never missed a beat. It doesn't have a swivel monitor that some people prefer. It does open out flat but it doesn't swivel around to fold back on itself. I use a CaseLogic case that mounts to the headrest so the fold flat isn't needed.
